Opening up North Korea would result in much greater wealth for both him and his people, but it comes with a loss of power and status for Kim Jong.

I find the premise of Kim Jong-il sharing the poor standard of living with his people (or, not making the most of what the modern world has to offer because of living in his country), completely implausible.
